Senator Ndume clears air on ‘decentralisation’ of Army University in Biu
Ndume said having made concerted efforts and personally sponsored the bill for the establishment of the institution, which was cited in Biu Local Government Area of his constituency, he couldn’t have called for its decentralisation, knowing fully well that he is one of the frontline lobbyists to ensure that NAUB was established.
Reports in some traditional and new media claimed the Senator had asked the Nigerian Army and the National Universities Commission to consider decentralisation of the institution at a public hearing on the establishment of the institution in Abuja.
His words: ”I have to distance myself from the statement credited to me in some media platforms that I called for decentralisation of NAUB during a public hearing.“Remember I am the sponsor of the bill. If I wanted that I would have included it in the initial bill. It was the Senator from Anambra who canvased for the decentralisation and the NUC representative present said that it was not possible.“That was her opinion, and she is entitled to it at such occasion.
“What will I gain from the decentralization? Mischief-makers will always see good things negatively. Let us pray for the successful completion of the legislative process. May Allah guide us to the right path,” Ndume said.
